I'm not a huge weather wiz, but its been cloudly lately and I haven't seen any frost on the ground like we were having last week when the road were closed in patterson. It sprinkled today and has been quite a bit warmer in the past few days.
My prediction is there should be NO ice.
Comments??
Whos going??
I'm not going,but I think you'd do well. I'd just sit in and wait for the climb just before the turnaround point. Hopefully, there'd be a small group that could get some separation and work together back to the finish line. There's a small rise up to the finish. Just make sure you don't cross the centerline and get DQ'ed.
Good Luck!

P.S. The broken femur was two years ago.
